Reaper not as stable as it used to be?

[*Noodles*]

Simple answer: Don't use reaper. why use it when you can get much. much better software for exactly the same price. free

(of course, just my personal opinion)

Reasons for not liking Reaper?
And which software would you recommend?

Well I've been mucking about with it a little, and it still crashes even after that option change i mentioned in the previous page. I'm just going to have to admit defeat on this one, and assume its one or a combination of the free VST's im using (even although they've all worked in the past). Might give pro tools LE a go cos I got that free with my soundcard, but I'm pretty sure that will be pantaloons!

I bought an m-audio card just to try pro tools le. Biggest dissapointment of my life. The lack of a proper drum style midi editor is a complete deal breaker for me. I have no idea why pro tools is so dominant professionally, it seemed pretty pans to me.

If I was to switch from reaper I'd likely go back to cubase or perhaps get into ableton.

Weed those VST's. A lot of the home grown versions cause massive crashes. Zebra CM used to crash cubase almost every time. I now use Logic, which crashes much more elegantly, and takes the midi drivers with it.
